Description

New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows.
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward.
For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough.
Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet.
This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest.
The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

        July 20, 2021
        Grades 9-12 *Starred Review* There is good news and bad news, readers. The good news is that Rowell's latest Simon Snow novel has arrived, and it's a doozy--all 592 pages of it. The bad news is that it's the final volume in her trilogy about the erstwhile mage. More reason, then, to treasure this one, and, happily, Rowell doesn't disappoint. The latest finds Simon and his friends--Baz, Agatha, Penelope, and Shepard, a ""Normal"" (i.e., non-magical) American who has a demonic curse on his head--back in England from their American sojourn. Disquieting news awaits them: since Simon is no longer the Chosen One, a pretender to that title has appeared, a man with the unlikely name of Smith Smith-Richards, who is promising his cult of followers that he'll strengthen their magic. Baz dismisses him as a charlatan, but Simon isn't so sure. Meanwhile, Penelope is falling in love with Shep, although a Mage-Normal romance is unheard of. But it's the romance between Simon and Baz, with its occasional fits and starts, that always and ever occupies center stage. The psychology of these two characters--among the best since Harry Potter--is what really moves this character-driven fantasy, which is beautifully realized and deeply satisfying. All of its characters are so wonderfully drawn that it's almost impossible to fathom that they will be no more. Farewell, Simon and Baz; we'll miss you.

        February 1, 2022

        Gr 9 Up-In this conclusion to Rowell's "Simon Snow" trilogy, Simon and his friends have returned from their American road trip to discover that a new Chosen One has appeared in England. Smith Smith-Richards is promising to strengthen the magic of those who follow him, which is never a good sign. Simon and Baz's romance is naturally center stage with all the angst it entails as everyone returns to Watford, but Agatha, Penny, and Shep all get their chance at love at varying levels of plausibility. Ultimately, this book has the weakest plot of the trilogy and barely touches on what occurred in Wayward Son. VERDICT Despite a hard-won happily ever after, readers will be left wondering what happened to all the subplots Rowell dropped.
